If an individual was intoxicated when the contractual portion of the Statement of Funeral Goods and Services Selected was signed, the contract is

• A. Void
• B. Valid
• C. Voidable
• D. Enforceable

Answer: (C)

Capacity to contract matters: signing the contractual portion while intoxicated can undermine the person’s ability to understand the terms, so the agreement is voidable. It isn’t automatically invalid from the start; the intoxicated party can choose to disaffirm it later (typically while sober and within a reasonable time). This reflects that consent must be voluntary and informed. So the contract can be avoided if the intoxicated person acts to void it, rather than being void ab initio or automatically enforceable.
